Rolling Psych/Drone/Freak Thread 2013
Rolling Indie thread 2013
rolling punk / non-indie underground 2013

here is something I like that is recent:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=780ced41PJ0

i was trying to remember neung phak's name just this afternoon!

people tend to confuse them with dengue fever a lot

Full disclosure - I work with the band but... their next record falls into the catch all premise of the subject and is what some people might call a "return to form"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oBQfd_EKuK0

love the guitar intro on that, sarahell

glad you liked it!

also, this - I posted about in the noise thread, but it fits fine here imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6Y26fX_Uh4

yeah that moira scar is pretty awesome

this came out last year but I just heard it

https://soundcloud.com/tigertrap/sets/infants-giant-leg

that^ band broke up maybe two years ago, it was peculiar that the album came out all given that, but fair play

I put them on years back w/ (I think) The Mae Shi which was almost too neat a match really

I like the idea of this thread, but the problem with it is that, unlike pop, dance, metal and hip-hop, music like this is by nature unhappy being categorised and lumped in with other styles so it's gonna be a bit difficult. Still, I'll make a point of keeping up and posting :-)

The music itself is unhappy? It'll do what I bloody say. Not like genre is being forced upon anything - this thread is designed as a loose convocation of as wide a variety as possible of interesting or challenging music. The irony is that only your post ascribes any uniformity of character to potential inclusions.

*bookmarked*

haha, no it's more that dance music, for instance, thrives on being categorised under banners, whereas a lot of rock-based acts don't like to feel they're a part of any scene and I think fans themselves might feel uncomfortable with "ah this new band i just discovered is ripe for the rolling rock thread". maybe not, i dunno... it's where the rolling thread format breaks down for me. I miss outloud.fm.

Is this called the rolling rock thread? Embrace everything and trust that it will respond in kind. Not that it has a choice.

hen I get home I will check out those links :)

I think dog latin's mistake comes from the assumption that this thread is for 'weird rock' or something. Which, you know, would find a home here, but is not what this is about.

I am down with this thread.

*plonks myself on the sofa, looks through your mail*

anyone bring any biscuits?

Some tracks I loved from last year that I would have been blasting you all with in Outloud (RIP) but few if any other people got excited about:

LA Vampires and Maria Minerva - A Lover and a Friend (hipster housey)
Hiss Golden Messenger - Blue Country Mystic (folky, discovered from the EOY nominations)
Yori Horikawa - Bubbles (bubbly)
Discoverer - Personal Clone (bladerunnerwave)
Starring - the best (psych/noise covers of MOR hits seemed to be a thing this year)
Mark McGuire - Surrogate Channels ("Adrenochrome" was my Emeralds jam this year, but MMG's under-the-radar EP was also great)
Tenniscoats - Hikoki (twee post-rock odyssey)
Collarbones - Hypothermia (reminds me of that Autre Ne Veut song, not as catchy but still cool)
Sexy Fi - Pequeno Dictionário das Ruas (RIYL Latin American hipster shit, most "indie rock" thing on this list)
Philipp Matalla - Space Line (more of that space disco I feast on)
Astral Social Club - FRWRKZ RMRK (with Katy Perry!)
Thousand Foot Whale Claw - Phobos (deep space synths)

yeah I think this thread has some value for stuff that slips thru the cracks. like I've been wanting to talk about humanbeast for a while, but not sure where to put them? rolling noise/punk/indie/psych don't really fit what they're doing. they came out of the providence noise/experimental scene but like many have moved into more cold electronic beat stuff, I guess ppl call it fake techno now? dreamy/screamy. after doing a few tapes they've got a proper full length coming out this year, live show is great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgM1eo2B2HQ

i like that infants stuff! (not surprising that I would, but ...)

I put this on the Latin American hipster shit thread, but I'm still trying to get a response to it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSWRgx8dATg

Basically sounds like poppier, more melodic, take on early industrial and offshoots (TG, Cabaret Voltaire, Psychic TV) to me.

i like that one rudi rockist!

Thanks, scott, I would expect you to like that, but I'm glad you said so. (I found that via Samantha Ann Carillo at the Albuquerque Alibi.)

i like that moira scar thing too posted on here. my brother played a show with those guys and he said they were awesome.

i REALLY like this but i don't know what you guys will think. a tape put out in 2008 but re-released on vinyl in 2012. i just love the sounds. every track is kinda its own thing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qa23wo14hs

(so, not 2013, but i doubt anyone has heard it...)

I really like it too, scott!

Take that to the rolling macrodub thread.

I like it. We're both easy to please tonight.

if this is thread gets full of stuff like selma oxor and moira scar then relevant to my interests it will be

what's good with TRACEY TRANCE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4c_0-c0fRA

is there a song that involves burping?

i liked the one you posted btw

no burps, just joy. and weed.

Into this new album by Palmbomen right now: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/albums/Palmbomen.html

It's kind of wavey, but weird in the right ways.

This seems like as good a thread as any for this...

Cool PR guy Howard Wuelfing got me into a show from a band Cinema Cinema this past week, which was super nice of him since I am pretty much retired from musical musing. But I wanted to give them a little hype because the group was pretty impressive. Playing a Monday night opening for a local and with only a handful of attendees, the Brooklyn duo - a bald, bearded, bad-ass guitarist/vocalist and a hyper-kinetic drummer (and they're cousins!) - acted like it was still a matter of life or death.

The group obviously digs Black Flag and it wasn't just the fact the singer/six stringer had a Flag tee on. Or that they apparently toured with Greg Ginn. Though those two factoids make me wish I could compare the band to someone else, it would be inaccurate given the frantic, riff-spazz-riff-spazz-spazz-riff style of the guitarist. To be sure, there are much worse bands to ape.

I picked up an EP and the last CD the band put out entitled "Manic Children & The Slow Aggression." You can stream the whole album on their website. The disc - produced by legendary DC producer Don Zientara at the legendary Inner Ear Studios and self-released - is not quite as good as the show was because Cinema Cinema stuck to the thrash-pop live. Frankly the slower, quieter stuff where he eschews screaming for singing pales in comparison to when the two guys just lose their collective shit. Fortunately they do that a lot more than not.

Here's the video from the album. Fortunately it's for an uptempo track (I think they know where their bread is toasted).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwQVFg3N3gY

Apparently the band will play anywhere they are allowed to plug in and they play out in NYC, Brooklyn and northern NJ relatively often. I recommend seeing Cinema Cinema if the description or recorded stuff is even a little appealing to you because they killed it live.

new shugo tokumaru has a great video, sweet handclaps, and excellent squibbly-voiced backing vocals (which remind me of nothing so much as the psp game loco roco):

http://vimeo.com/58022280

that video is hypnotic

my friend xander made this new video for a song from '11. that phone isn't just a prop, omnivore makes all her music w/ phones and a loop pedal. haunting? yeah.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5qsvinYzEM

whoa, this selma oxor song is the nuts!

you can download the selma oxor EP here

http://s3.amazonaws.com/valevergas-production/zips/15/Selma%20Oxor%20User%2069.zip

yes it's called user 69

it does not disappoint

if you want to support her mission you can buy it for 84 of your mexican dollars

http://selmaoxor.bandcamp.com/album/user-69

Damn. I got people to listen to this after the 2012 poll has already occurred. (Again, I obviously care way too much about these polls.) I listened to one other song from the EP and didn't like it nearly as much but I should check it out.

here's a non-EP single, it's pretty amazing imo

http://vimeo.com/44048515

I mean, just holy shit @ 2:42

xxxp

n/m the Monotonprodukt vinyl is from last year’s reissue which I now see is the third version of the rec since ’03 (I’m sure he has a Blu-Ray version in the pipeline, let’s not besmirch his compulsion).

APS, if yr living situation goes down the shitter you can always turn to the dependable glowing void of a DAW f/ all yr companionship needs (p. sure ~fake techno~ is the official aesthetic of professional shut-ins + freaks, don’t ask how I know this).

(E3 OTM, lol at The Divine Punishment as creep nostalgia)

awww The Plague Mass CD was one of my first gifts to my now-ex. I think I reclaimed it after we broke up. So good!

Osasto, rolled a few times down an embankment:

Basic House - B.G. Feathers: http://youtu.be/ZVwlB3qv2qs

been digging this la machine record, they were one of the great bass-n-drum combos providence coughed up in the late 90s

castle face reissued one of their cassettes and it's like the dub album chrome never made

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCIVeBpOAt0

in other ancient cassette reissue news, rumor has it that evil acidhead, john mcbain's unearthly collaboration w/ ugly american greg chapman, will finally be released after 20+ years in the phantom zone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONADJXktKQQ

Connan Mockasin is back! His new album Caramel on Spotify. Um...I don't know how to describe him beyond 'fucking incredible wrong-sounding psych beauty' and that you have to hear him. First track is probably even weirder than anything else he's done

New BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE also on Spotify, it's gonna be a weird evening :D

Mockasin was ok. BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE is fucking amazing amazing amazing music amazing

I think Wooden Ball shades the new one, Breaking Mirrors, but for a band to have released two albums this good inside a year is frankly astonishing

'86 -> '13 from Not Here/Not Now:

Swans - Coward: http://youtu.be/36sfWXKk1JE

4X now, like a goddamn junkie. peerless punishment.

so many v. obv postpunk influences interlaced in here, but I keep circling back to the two-fisted keyboard kraft + meltdown vox of live Suicide and their commendable efforts at befouling NYC:

Been really kicking off on the goats for the last couple of days to this track by Forebrace. Feels slightly like a demented version of the Taking of Pelham 123 theme.

somebody explain splittercore 2 me. is it real? I want to believe.

E3 I know u have heard gabber + its sundry ultra-bpm hyperkore krokodil-shooting-anthem progeny b/c I recall blessing u w/ said festering musical misery via magnetic tape approx 70 years ago. which aspects of 2013's arrested ultraviolent nihilistic never-employed pornogore-fanatic jugend hatchlings are giving u pause? splittercore is magic we can all share.

L.I.E.S. gets clowned on ILX due the ~hype phactor~ but I have never had to mingle irl w/ any of the other quite probably horrible ppl who listen to this music so I will agree w/ you on the Shadowlust.

i thought ilx loved l.i.e.s? or do u mean like lex (lol)? some of the techno stuff is too boring for me but im not super into techno anyways

eh, it’s standard low-level bobbins cru carping about the elevation of noise and its corollary ~the degradation of groove~ together purportedly making the material sound like shit on sound systems + difficult to mix w/ standard techno fair. also, annoyance w/ the hype factor/crossover appeal that grants the artists greater coverage than veterans who don’t have a novel noise angle, which I’m sure is true but IDGAF. tbf I enjoy the label’s tunes more as lo-fi psych jams + I don’t have to mix this racket into crowd-moving sets.

ugh fare

most of the stuff posted here between september and october is blowing my fucking mind. thank you all.

well "most of the stuff" i guess is about 5 bands/albums, but still that's a lot.

i'm familiar with BBB, but I hadn't heard any new stuff from them since they kinda updated their production value. i'm into it though.

well gabber was v well-defined w/ a geographical ground zero (rotterdam) + (in)famous practitioners of the art + labels and such, whereas based on its brief wikipedia entry and approx 1000 mp3 compilations on archive.org for all I know splittercore is a genre hoax perpetrated by a single overcaffeinated 4chan manboy

don't even get me started on extratone

in other news I can't listen to blanche blanche blanche without vacillating tween "this is pretty cool" and "this should only be listened to in dorm rooms" but I guess seeing them tonight w/ guerilla toss will help me make up my mind

Doctor C on Cardiacs springs to mind tbh

Repulsively dud. Idiotic prog-wacky for the lower sixth.

harsher judgment than what I had in mind but yeah overly busy stuff like the cardiacs and sleepytime gorilla museum has never particularly tickled my pickle

I mean frenetic as a style marker is a valid raison d'etre but if we're gonna fuck ya better bang me like a rabid rhesus monkey and not a hummingbird w/ goddamn protractor wings

omg wut!?

math is fun and other shibboleths

yeah i still can't figure out if i like em either... lj love doesn't help lol

way back in the dark ages of gabber there were already 1000-bpm cornball fux vying f/ the prestigious wet merkin prize f/ crippling onanism, so this particular strain of teen stupor has been around f/ a while. also, we may have shot past the point where ephemeral microgenres require anything more than self-referential authentication (p. sure no one glomming onto "splittercore" is waiting by the phone f/ Wenner's approval). idk, yr right in some old-media sense, but the youths on Bandcamp are cranking out new tags by the crate and it's less hoax than wager (the ghost of shit future will see you now).

I don't know much about most of the Holodeck releases but that Troller record is def in my top 5 of the year.

The Demdike Stare Testpressing 3-part 12" series from this year seems relevant to this thread and I haven't seen them mentioned. They are amazing.
